We had the wheels on my brother's XJ re-furbished a few months back. It is Jaguar Racing Green and we decided that the best option was to stick with the silver, and have fitted green "growler" centre caps.

We've used darker metallic grey wheels on other cars (such as a silver Monaro) but don't think the green lends itself to many options. All personal taste of course.

If you could post a picture of your car and wheel style?
Green and gold works but not if your car has chrome trim. Some wheel styles lend themselves to having a diamond cut outer edge with perhaps a mid grey centre. Really need to see your style of wheel though wink

I can’t do photoshop but I can tell you gold wheels will look naff.

My wheel above although not exactly the same you have a similar style.
The outer edge of your wheels could be diamond cut and the centre finished in a mid to anthracite grey. Your wheels will have a classic look without looking out of place. wink
If you want a hint of gold, I would clean up behind the wheels and detail the brake calipers in gold like the picture below.

Gold rims will probably look great. A bit in your face and not everyone’s style. But I simply wouldn’t worry.

If calipers are already gold and then add gold wheels you won’t see them.
Bronze wheels perhaps?

Sorry I only had time to do the front wheel.



My opinion is that I've only really liked gold wheels on Imprezas, and even then I didn't really like them biggrin
